We are gathered here today to celebrate the life & mourn the passing of Sallie Lee Lewis. Born on July 1, 1938 in Newbern Alabama to David "Boe" Williams & Henrietta (Ret) Dunn Williams. Being the eldest girl, she was strong willed and very outspoken. So, if she had an opinion, you would know it.

In June of 1958 she & her sister Henrietta left Alabama for Kentucky. One month later they had their cousin Lovell drive them to Toledo, OH to stay with their aunt Ethel. The way she told the story is it was all her idea. While here she met a man named Paul Lewis. They married & then had four children Paul Lewis Jr., Benjamin Lewis, Joseph "Joe" Lewis & Joanne (Manuel).
